Jeep Twitter feed hacked day after Burger King’s
A day after Burger King was the victim of an apparent Twitter hack, Jeep's verified Twitter feed appears to have fallen victim to one, too.
Shortly after noon on Tuesday, the description of the car maker's Twitter account was changed to say it had been sold to Cadillac, its avatar swapped for a Cadillac symbol, and its feed filled with posts containing language not entirely suitable for work.
"You'll never catch @50cent ridin in a Dirty Ass @Jeep," one of the less-offensive tweets read. "#ForDaLuLz #FreeJeep."
"Sorry guys ... no more @Jeep production because we caught our CEO doing this," another read, linking to a photo of a young man smoking from what appears to be a glass pipe.
In a meta-move, Jeep's Twitter feed—which has more than 100,000 followers—also featured retweets of Twitter users who noticed the apparent hack.
"First Burger King now @Jeep," @johnnyteater wrote. "Glad people have so much pointless time on their hands."
"Does @BurgerKing have any advice for Jeep?" @helloandrewc asked.
By 3 p.m., the messages had been deleted and Jeep's logo and branding were restored.
A representative for Jeep owner Chrysler did not immediately return a request for comment.
Burger King endured a similar attack on Monday, when its Twitter account suggested the restaurant chain had been sold to McDonald's. According to Mashable, the hacktivist group @DFNTSC claimed responsibility for the social media shenanigans. The Burger King account was suspended until the Whopper-maker could regain control.
A McDonald’s vehicle was initially uploaded as Jeep's Twitter background on Tuesday, suggesting the same group was responsible.
